“It’d be a pity to kill someone as strong as you,” Levyn smirked while still holding Rosie up by her throat, “especially because our bodies know each other. So, what do you say? If you act obedient to me, I’ll let you live.”Suddenly, a water sphere formed around both Levyn and Rosie. And the water sphere split into two water spheres and separated both of them.Maria made entrance and released her daughter from the water sphere but then started making the other water sphere boil, so as to literally boil Levyn to death.A normal person would have easily died, but Levyn was smiling. He formed gills on his shoulders and was able to breathe in the water sphere.“Mom, let’s fight together. We can defeat him!” Rosie said. “He’s mentally sick. We need to give him some kind of treatment, or he’ll destroy this city.”“I don’t think he’s mentally sick,” Maria said, grabbing her daughter’s arm. “But he’s not someone I can say I can confidently defeat.” She formed a water tunnel through the air a
A few days later.In the Morning District of the Venture city.This district was famous for the opening of a new dungeon every morning, and so it was packed with more venerers than regular citizens. No dungeons were formed in the night time, either.However, last night, a bagel-shaped B-ranked dungeon formed in the middle of the night.This was the first B-rank dungeon that had ever opened in this district, and the portal formed right on top of the dirty lake, floating on the waters, so it got the venerers both excited as well as anxious.From all the data they had with the dungeons that had appeared in a similar fashion around the city in the past, a team of eight B-ranked venerers from the Hound guild was given the task to clear the dungeon.Hound guild was a scrap-collecting guild, and the lake this portal appeared was also where a lot of the district’s trash was thrown in, which made the whole place quite smelly. Not just anybody could walk in there and breathe freely. This was wh
A boat approached the bagel-shaped dungeon, as peddled by Myles from one end. He was asked to do the job if he wanted an oxygen tank, so he couldn’t refuse them.The lake was not a small one. Because of the plastic bags and all kinds of garbage floating around, pedaling the boat proved all the harder. However, Myles didn’t complain. He patiently steered the boat and left the eight men surprised. The team’s porter especially was wide-eyed by seeing how expertly Myles was steering the boat without messing up the garbage all around.“Where did you learn this technique?” the porter, who was a somewhat fat but handsome man asked. “You’re doing it so smoothly without stopping. That requires both stamina as well as lots of practice.”“I used to often travel on boats in my past life,” Myles replied casually.All the men except the porter laughed out saying that Myles had a good sense of humor.“If you don’t want to tell us, it’s okay,” the porter shrugged and minded his business.Soon, the bo
The eight members of the Hound guild rushed into the B-rank dungeon.They found themselves in midair, hundreds of feet above a sea of water. No matter which direction they looked, there was nothing but water with not a piece of land in sight.And they could see many giant sea creatures like the flying fish fighting about in the waters. It was a horrifying sight to say the least.“This is no dungeon,” the leader said.“This is like we came to another world,” the porter remarked.Normally, the dungeons they’ve been to had limited sizes, but this one was totally different. They couldn’t see the end of it. Moreover, the sea monsters looked like they were all either A rank or S rank monsters. If they were all to come out of the portal, the Hound guild members couldn’t even imagine what would happen to the venture city.“Where’s that guy? Did anyone find him?”“No, I can't see him anywhere.”“He’s there!” The one with the big mustache spoke, pointing toward the direction where the flying fi
An A-rank water snake with a girth of over 100 meters just swallowed Myles alive, and it didn’t wait a second before dipping its head back into the water and headed for the depths of the sea. It was capable of breathing underwater for three days straight, so it had no issues staying at the depths of the waters, not counting the fact that there would also be many more creatures to give trouble.It even tried to hide itself under the dirt at the bottom of the sea, though it was too big to properly use the layer of dirt as camouflage.Even though a single human wouldn’t even be enough to call a snack for this big of a snake, it had seen him fight with the hellfish, so it knew that this human would possess some level of energy that could satisfy it, so it began to wist its own body, trying to release strong acidic juices in order to quickly melt the humans body and digest him to obtain the power as quickly as possible.For almost half a minute, the snake didn’t stop twisting its own body,
Hundreds of giant monsters swarmed on Myles and the hellfish. Myles was forced to take his sword out, and he used his warping skill to vanish from the monsters’ sight.The monsters didn’t care about him right now. No, not in the slightest.They were all after the S-class monster, the one and only hellfish in existence. All of these giant monsters were either A-class or B-class. They could easily take down an S-rank venerer with their number, and now they tried to bite on the hellfish’s body and grab a chunk for themselves.Even though the hellfish was weakened, it still had more than enough strength to fight back. And it began to shoot its scales out in every direction, drilling holes through the bodies of all the giant fish monsters.One of the scales also hit Myles who was standing on top of a whale. The scale itself was dozens of feet wide, and so it managed to cut through the whale’s body, and Myles would have been sliced in two as well if he hadn’t blocked the big fish-scale with
A few seconds earlier.“How did we end up in this seashell?” the porter of the team asked.“Edward brought us all here with his wind ability,” the leader said. All of the eight members were covered in injuries. Their healer lost their arm and an ear. “We can’t go outside because there are still too many beasts.”“Can you find that D ranker anywhere?”“No, I don’t see him.” They looked through the broken shell one and one until the leader found him.“There he is! Wait, the hellfish is chasing after him!”“What?”“And they’re coming right at us! Run!” The leader howled, but Edward used his wind ability to push the sea shell with great force and used it to surf on top of the waters.“Wait! Don’t leave without me!” Myles changed his direction and chased the seashell.“Are you fucking kidding us?!” the porter screamed at the top of his lungs. “Why are you bringing the hellfish toward us? Go another way!”“I can’t hear you!” Myles only increased his speed, skipping their heartbeats even mor
Everybody, all nine of them, including Myles got caught in the hellfish’s mouth. It tried to swallow them all, but Myles had pierced the sword in the ceiling of its mouth with one hand and also held onto the seashell with the other. The hellfish flew out of the waters and opened its mouth. Myles threw the seashell out with great effort because it was heavy. The bone sword kept sucking the blood from the hellfish’s head and deprived its brain of the vital fluid, thereby making the hellfish go crazy. It began to shake its head and grunt in pain. Myles also released bullets of energy from his fingers and shot all around its mouth to add to the pain this beast was already feeling. All this forced the hellfish to cough and spit Myles out. He fell into the dirty waters, not far from where the seashell was. While the hellfish was still suffering as its brain hurt, Myles swam near to the seashell and covered it with the trash before entering it. Luckily the seashell was still able to float
